The government grants involve having to pay back the money given to the small business?

The government grants involve funding being supplied by the Canadian government grants and loans programs for small businesses. Most often if the funding is by way of grants there is no payback requirement. The government grants involve an individual that owns a small business making application for a particular grant that is applicable to their small business needs. One would have to meet the criteria as set out by this particular grant or loan.
